The Lhasanese is a cross between a purebred Lhasa Apso and a purebred Pekingese. They are called hybrid dogs due to their origination from two different pure breeds.
These dogs are small in size with a height of 11 inches and weight anywhere from 7 to 18 pounds. They are brave, loyal, affectionate and social dogs. These dogs can get along with all ages. They do need early socialization with other dogs from puppy-hood or they have a tendency to try and dominate dogs that are much larger than themselves.
The Lhasanese dogs are wary of strangers and will sound alarm if notice a approaching stranger. They can make good watch dogs as well as great family dogs.
